busted axle or wheel bearing?
i posted this in the integra forum, but it didn't seem to get too many responses... on m y 95 integra, when i make a right turn, i'm getting a "whirring" sound. is that indicative of a busted right axle (the boot seems to look ok?) or a wheel bearing?

not always the case. my rear bearing in my teg is going, it stops when i turn in one direction and intensifies in the other.
and on my ram, my front left went and it scraped when i turned to the right, no sound at any other time....

No, axles (bad cv boots/joints) click when they are bad....wheel bearings make a whirring noise.
